Stuff the sausage casings (optional)
If using natural sausage casings, rinse them thoroughly and soak them in water for about 30 minutes. Then, fill the casings with the sausage mixture using a sausage stuffer. Twist sausages into desired lengths and tie off the ends.

Form into patties (if not stuffing)
If not using casings, shape the sausage mixture into patties or logs.
